" Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants tliarlittlc long.”
[(ioldsniitli's Hermit.
“Man wants but little here below.
Nor wants that littir long.”
’Tis not with me exactly so—-
Bnt ’tis so in the song.
il’lt/ wants are man_v, and if told,
Vould muster inimy a score;
And were each wish a mint of gold,
I still should long for more.

\Vliat first Iwant is daily bread,
And canvas backs and wine ,

And all the realms of nature spread
Before me when I dine.--

Fonr courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell,

VVith four choice cooks from France beside
To dress my dinner well.

\Vhat next I want at heavy cost,
Is elegant; attire;

Black sable furs for winter's frost,
And silks for suimner’s fire,

And ciishmere shawls and Brussels lace
My bos0m's front to deck——

And diamond rings my hands to grace ;
And rubies for my neck.

And then I wanta mansion fair,
A dwelling house, in style,
Four stories high. for wholesome air
A massive marble pile:
\V'iili halls for banquets and for balls
All furnislied rich and fine ;
\Viih stabled studs in fifty stalls
And cellars for my wine ;-—

I want a garden and a park
My dwelliiig, to surround,

A thousand acres, (bless the mark)
\Vitli walls encompass’d round,

\Vlici'e flocks may range 6: herds niay low,
And kids and lauibkiiis play‘—-

And flowers and fruits coininingl’d grow
All Eden to display.

I want, when summer's foliage falls,
And autumn strips the trees,

A house, within the city's walls
For comfort and foi' ezise——

But. here as space is somewhat scant:
And acres rather rare,

My house in Town I only want
To cccupy ii square.

I wantn Steward. Butler, Cooks,
A Coach man, Footinan, Grooms ;
A lib riiiy of well bound books,
And pittture gariiislicd rooms,
Cot-reglos, Miigtliileii and Night
The Matron of the Chair;
Guido’s fleet courses in their flight;
And Claudes at least a pair.

I want a cabinet profuse
Of inedals, coins and goins;

A printing press for private use
Of tifty thousand ems,

And plains and niiiicrals and shells.
\Voi'ins,‘ iiisccts, fishes, birds;

And every beast on earth tliatdwclls,
In solitude or heaids.

I want a board of burnished plate,
Ofsilvcr or of gold,

Tureens of twenty pounds in weight
With scnlpt‘ui'e’s iicliest iuould.
Plateaus with chaiidaliei-s and lamps,

Plates, dishes all the same:
And Porcelaiii vases with the stamps
Of Sevres, Aiigoqletiie.

And maples of fair glossy stain
Must form my clianibcr doors,

And carpets of tlio Wilton grain
Must cover all my floors,

My walls with Tapestiy be deck’d
Miist never be outdone;

And damask curtains must protect
Their colors froiu the sun.

And mirrors of the largest pane
From Venice inust.be brought;

And sandal wood and bainboo—cane
For chairs and table bought,

On iii] the iriaiitcl pieces, clocks
Of thrice gilt bronze must stantl,

And screens of ebony and box
Invite the strange-i"s lniiid.

I \‘v’§‘tltlZ—-(‘NIIO does not want ?)—a wife,
Affectioiiate and fair;

To solace all the woes of life,
And all its joys to share;

Of temper sweet, of yieldiiigwill,
Of firm, yet. placid niiiid ;

\Vit.li all my faults to love me still,
\Vith seiitiiiicnt rofin’d.

And as Tiine’s car incessa nt. runs
And Fortune fills my store ;

I want of da ughters and of sons
From eight to halfa score.

Iwaiit, (alas! can mortal dare
Such bliss on eart.li to crave?)

That all the girls be chaste and fair-
The boys all wise and brave.

And when my bosoin's darling sings

A pedal harp of many strings,

gtlie Squire had .his heart completely
,“ done brown,” and no wonder, for the
iwidow had an eye, a smile, and .1 form all
beau ifiil enough to drive dist:-m-.ticn into
the heart of any man. Occasioiially, the
Squire met the uidow at cliurcli, and

her a funny sensation wt‘-iit tliron__ql'i his

he did, and the more is tlionght of the

'l'lie Squire made many lt)qllll'l_r’.'~‘ about
the widow; but all the iiifo:‘ui:ition he
could receive, was that sliv \'.'a:: a widow
from New York. She was :1 widow, that
seemed to be a settled niattcr, for all the
vtilliige folks said so, and what the \Vesi.
port village folks said, was as true as
preaching. All the old Aiiniies and Un-
cles, iiicludirig a long line of respectable
young men and iiinideiis, declared she
was a widow. Uld .‘.'li‘s.-Peeler who mar-
ried the Squire’s brother, said she was

Now it was evident. that the Squire‘ was"
going to the Widow’s, and she boarded"
with old Mrs. I'IUbl)flCk on the Church‘
Hill. In going there, the Squire was
obliged to pass 'I'aylor’s g‘rocery,vvlicre a
lot of chaps were always congregated in
the evenings discussing common place’
subjects about the village. The Squire
saw them at a distance, and they never
imag_ined that the well dressed “feller” on
the other side of the road was the Squire.

linally passed without being recognized.
